5 Do you know what this is? After heavy use of LCD projectors, picture image deteriorates and becomes Yellowish *. After using LCD projectors for a long time, this sometimes happens when trying to project a white image. The blue polarizer deteriorates the fastest. This inhibits the passage of blue light. Green White Blue Red White Blue = Yellowish Image *this is an extreme example

6 Long Lasting Brightness -New materials Reasons for picture deterioration over time Due to extreme over heating caused by heavy use of the projector Due to Ultra Violet Light Shade Shrinkage Burn Examples of polarizer deterioration These sample pictures are taken from actual tests.

7 Long Lasting Brightness -New materials Newly designed LCD Panels & Polarizers extend the life time of the optical block! NEW New Inorganic Polarizer : Metal Wire Grid Inorganic Polarizer Deterioration of the Blue Polarizer causes the "Yellowish" Picture Images

8 Long Lasting Brightness -The Optical block Now using new Inorganic materials for LCD Panels & Polarizers NEW Consists of LCD Panels 1) 3x LCD Panels for "Red" "Green" "Blue" 2) Each panel has 2x Polarizer : Total 6x Polarizer Projection Lens Polarizer (B-Out) New LCD Panels and Polarizers R-LCD B-LCD Polarizer (B-In) Polarizer (G-Out) G-LCD Lens Array Lamp Dichroic Mirror PBS Array

9 Long Lasting Brightness -Dust effect Dust effects brightness, picture quality and causes over heating. Color shading (Real Life Example) Over 50% brightness deterioration after 500hrs

10 Long Lasting Brightness -Dust Resistance Dust Resistant Technology ACF (Auto Cleaning Filter)* Sealed design Lens area AIR IN ACF Exhaust FAN AIR OUT Terminal Block Block dust from Lens and Terminal Automatically refreshes filter material to prevent dust from entering Designed to shut out dust

11 Long Lasting Brightness -ACF No need to climb up to the ceiling to replace the filter NEW New Auto Cleaning Filter (ACF) has a typical replacement cycle of over 10,000 hours Cleaning Brush Rotates! ACF Cartridge Actual operation time changes depending on dust environment.

12 Long Lasting Brightness -ACF mechanism 10,000 hours replacement cycle with an additional built-in in sensor for auto filter clogging detection. * The actual life time changes depending on the environment. Normal Operating Mechanism of ACF Ventilation Parts Air Coming Filter Roller A Dust Roller Brush Dust Storage Filter Roller B ACF Cartridge Filter Roller Brush inside Dust Storage Roll Brush is rolled ACF & ARF comparison Rewind Filter Roller B is rolling Rolling Brush Removes dust From the filter. Brush is reversed Max 10,000hrs + Increased area of filter material (x1.65) Filter Roller A is rolling Max 6,000hrs

13 Long Lasting Brightness -Common lamp Customers can use the same spare lamps. Replacement lamp is the same for all F series. (No need to hold multiple stocks) F100 series F200 series F300 series 3200 lumens XGA 3000 lumens WXGA 3500 lumens XGA 4000 lumens XGA 3500 lumens WXGA Common Lamp Option model is the same (ET-LAF100) Also easy to replace them. (no need to take down the projector from the ceiling)

14 Long Lasting Brightness -Summary Long Lasting Brightness realized By the following 3 features. Long Lasting Easy Replacement 10,000H Inorganic LCD Panel and polarizers ACF (Auto Cleaning Filter) NEW NEW 5,000H Original Lamp Drive System Common lamp for F series

15 F300 Series Key Features 1. High Durability for long lasting brightness 2. Excellent Basic Features 3. Easy Installation and Maintenance

16 Excellent Basic Features -Daylight View Sharp edges are achieved with the Edge Enhancer Control and Gamma Curve Control. Lights OFF Dark environment No need to turn off the lights! Lights ON Conventional Projector Lights ON Day Light View Technology VS. Pale colors Daylight View Technology gives you more Color perception.

17 Excellent Basic Features -Daylight View Daylight View 5 function adds white level enhancement to increase visibility in lighted environments. NEW Color perception + Brightness + Contrast + Sharpness Gamma Hybrid Area Contrast White Level Enhancement Original image Daylight View 5

20 Excellent Basic Features -Why Wide?(PT-FW300NT/FW300) No question about it, WIDE has now become the standard aspect for all things AV. Ever growing Market Requirements - Personal Computers are now majority WIDE - More and more presentations now including WIDE aspect Moving Pictures. - Blu-ray is now the de-facto HD movie source. (Reference)Wide model screens also increasing

21 Excellent Basic Features -Why Wide?(PT-FW300NT/FW300) Wide aspect enables images to be effectively projected into a larger screen By projecting a wide source to a 4:3 screen, only 75% of the screen is used When the ceiling height is limited a wide screen gives a larger picture

22 Excellent Basic Features -Why Wide?(PT-FW300NT/FW300) Side By Side Function WIDE IMAGES FOR A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS Wide applications * PC & PC PC & Visualizer PC & Wireless PC PC & DVD * NO motion picture x 2
